The Icebound Source

Read Aloud

The cavern is filling with white mist as the frozen bridges crack beneath your feet. Veyr Frostvein raises his axe beside the blazing Pale Hearth, while dead oathbreakers close in along the crystal ledge. The imprisoned spirit beats once against the ice, and three crystal conduits flare toward failure.

Terrain Levers

  • Break a crystal vein to vent magical cold, but collapse a nearby ledge.
  • Redirect an underground stream across the ritual ring, slowing the Avatar.
  • Brace a frozen bridge with rope, pitons, or magic before it cracks.
  • Touch the Pale Hearth to protect the imprisoned spirit, but lose an action and risk a cold backlash.
